MEMORISE: Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Philippians 4:5
BIBLE READING: 1 John 2:15-17
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
MESSAGE:
It is generally believed that fashion is based on culture; hence, people’s taste in fashion differ according to their culture. As a child of God, however, you must subject your taste in fashion to the word of God. Today’s Bible reading warns us that we are not to be in love with the things of the world; instead, we are to be modest in all we do, as we see in today’s memory verse.
My dear child, I want you to know that nothing is constant in life except the word of God. Fashion trends will come and go, but the word of God will always remain. Therefore, you should not let the world dictate how you should dress; instead, let the Holy Spirit lead you. Before you go out every day, ask Him, “What will you have me wear today?” Believe me, He will guide you.
Beloved, let the word of God be your guide in all you do, including the clothes you wear. In everything you do and wear, make sure that Jesus is glorified.
KEY POINT:
Your standard for dressing should be based on the Word of God and not on the dictates of the world.
